Gents,
Been smacking things pretty good up to 250 yards but past that, me and the old '06 seem to wander off target. Yep, part of the issue is me but I think the old gun and inexpensive 30 yr old scope is part of it too.
Anyway, got a nice custom 308 lined up... and need a scope for it. Been thinking about the NF 2.5x10 with the illuminated Velocity reticle. Primary use is for mule deer out to 400-500 yards and an elk once in awhile.
Illuminated due to "old eyes" and late evening hunts.
Like the 2.5 because most shots still come in less than 100 yards.
Velocity reticle to help out beyond my apparent 250 yard limit.
308 has a bipod on it, so I can settle in, run the zoom to ten and take the shot.
So, am I thinking right and are there other scope alternatives?
Thanks,
Slim
